Friday Fragments, Episode #143

You made it! Welcome! I hope you brought your fragments. If not, I've got plenty to share....

"....at the end of the toenail, there is a light!" I heard our Nigerian priest say at Easter mass on Sunday. I love listening to that guy's homilies; he's so funny. You really have to stay "on your toes" to understand what he's saying!haha

There are just six weeks left of school, and I am practically giddy. I've already found myself singing in the hallway at school, which normally doesn't happen until the last few weeks.

If you haven't heard the great news about the new camera for Difference Makers, check out this post :)

Speaking of Difference Makers, tonight, they made four different batches of cookies for homerooms that raised the most money in our penny drive a few weeks back. It was pretty chaotic, let me tell you! It's a good thing I sampled the cookies after the kids left; I had to throw out an entire pan of chocolate chip bars that I wouldn't even feed my dog.haha The kids also had a ball making cake pops with me, too--about 100 of them. (It sure goes easier with many hands.) The only hard part was making sure they didn't eat too many!

Kendall is the proud owner of a new, official driver's license! The instructor referred to her on-the-road test performance as "fantastic." I'll try to remember that when she's out driving alone at night.

I had a crown prep on Monday. My dentist and I are praying that I do not actually need a root canal. As much as I hate those kinds of appointments (and the fact that I have thousands of dollars worth of dental work in my mouth), I'm grateful that I have dental insurance.

I took Wednesday off to run an errand and take Kendall to that driving test. Sleeping in until 8:30 was heavenly. Waking up to a quiet house (with no robin bashing into the bedroom window repeatedly, on purpose) was divine.

My birthday was Tuesday. I took the date off of Facebook months ago and still got some wishes there, but my favorites are the actual cards I received in the mail (as well as a few personal emails). I guess I'm getting old, but knowing that people actually took the time to send a card means the most. (Let that be a lesson to me!haha) Kendall wrote the most beautiful birthday letter a mother could hope for, too. So yeah, it was nice. Thanks.

First off, happy belated birthday! I hope it was awesome. Secondly, I NEVER would have thought I'd think sleeping until 8:30 was sleeping in, but my 2nd child has decided to be the only person in this family who wakes up before 8... he is usually up between 6 and 7:15 sometime. TOO early for me!

Hope you had an awesome birthday. I had to have a root canal not too long ago... man... I really don't like the dentist!! Sorry, I can't get that out of my head so I am not lost at what else I was going to say...

Happy Birthday - it's either really early or a little late depending how you look at it.I believe everyone should limit their personal info on FB. You don't really need to put your b-day up there because some friend or relative will remember and post something which gets noticed by the others.

My stepson just got a motorcycle and I sit here and imagine the worst all day long.

I got the shivers when you spoke about the dentist. I have to have 4 teeth removed and get a partial. Only problem is, I have to go around with no teeth for several weeks to a month while awaiting the partial...I keep putting it off.

Mom always said that copying is the sincerest form of flattery. In this case, she is wrong. Copying my writings/photos (without my permission) is just plain stealing. Mom might forgive you, but I won't. Don't do it.
